Have YOU ever tried painting with fountain pen ink?? Do you think, after watching, you'd give it a try?
Yes!
As a fountain pen user, I am interested to see someone with a completely different take on 'our' inks. I am green with envy at your artistic abilities. FP users like inks with some of the properties you mentioned and we also like sheening, shading and in some contexts shimmering inks. Most of us are users of bottled ink, not cartridges and this whole pen and ink thing is one of the biggest rabbit holes out there. Ink makers like Diamine, Robert Oster, Akkerman, Herbin, de Atramentis, Lamy, Sailor, Iroshizuku, KWZ and Colorverse are just a few names in hundreds. Just search on TH-cam and you'll get a peek at the madness. The most notorious ink is Noodler's Baystate Blue and probably the most amazing ink is Herbin's Emerald of Chivor. A lot of us have a disturbing number of syringes around the house as a preferred tool for ink transfer😁
I'm so glad I could provide a different spin on ink, it's incredible how many ways you can use them. I appreciate all of your insight, thanks so much!
I love my watercolor pen brushes & inks. I have some of the same inks and supplies. I must say, you have an amazing energy. I don’t know how you do it...putting content out at the rate that you do, it’s phenomenal. I feel like a turtle. Lol Thanks for the energy inspiration. 🤓🤗
Thank you, it definitely requires discipline, but I absolutely love it!
Wow. I didn't realise people bought Noodler's for other reasons than it being waterproof?! That's super cool to learn. :)
Fun right?! Thanks for watching, Irma!
Yes, I just started drawing with ink and dip pen...I have a glass dip pen, and I am so proud. Love it. Grewing up in Germany I had expierenced writing with a fountain pen, I learned writing handsript with it. Drawing is new and excityting, sure mor to come. Sadly it's rather expensive and hard to find the right paper.
It is hard to find the right paper and can certainly be expensive. Thanks for watching!
I just love your enthusiasm, I can’t wait for your next video, thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, Suzanne!
Love this, thank you for sharing all this information on ink. I look forward to the next video.
Thank you so much for watching, Sheamarie!!!
Oooo...and I love the fancy little bottle idea. Need to put a open shelf system when re-doing my art storage system
Fancy bottles are just so fun to look at! Thanks for watching, Becky!
Oh this was so useful! Thanks! And I love your bottles!
Thanks so much for watching, Cheryl!

Thank you, Cheryl!!!
What a great and extremely informative video! I love it, thank you!
Thanks for watching, so glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video! Thank you Karen! I finally used my stabilo all pencil yesterday and I used ink to activate it. It was such a fun experience. Thank you for introducing me to the stabilo all pencil.
Yay, I'm glad to hear that you liked it Maria!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Oh they are gorgeous thank you for sharing Karen
So glad you like them, Deena! Thanks for watching!

Have so much fun playing with your inks, Claudia!!!
This was very helpful! Thanks for sharing!
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching, Susan!

Thank you, Jovi!!!
I totally LOVE Noodler's Inks!!
They are so awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great video and so informative, you have answered a lot of question for me, much appreciated. Take Care Stay Safe
Hugs and Smiles
Thanks for watching, Lori!!! Have a great weekend!
Noodler's is my favorite ink, my mother in law paints and does wood carving and we share big bags of Interference mica powders that shimmer so beautifully when a little is added to a Noodler's ink( any color combination your heart desires really) u.s art supply are the best powder pigment store on Amazon bc they mix well and I use that mix in a bent nib calligraphy fountain pen cartridge converter without any problems.
Ooooh, thanks so much for the info Halley!
Of course! We get a 3.5 oz bag of color for like $10 and have 4/5 of the Interference colors. You can add more pigment if you are using a dip pen.(too thick obviously will clog fountain pen feeds). I actually added a tiny bit to a mix of "polar blue" and "polar purple" and put it in my lamy safari with a medium nib(z24 cartridge converter) and it looks like a sparkly gel pen when used on all the papers I've tried today.
Have fun playing with a new way to enjoy your favorite ink.
Ps. Noodler's "Nikita Kruchev "(sp) is another gorgeous deep blood red ink and you can get it in the 4.5 oz bottle with a free Noodler's "Charlie " eyedropper filled fountain pen( fine nib real ebonite feed) I recommend washing ONLY the feed with a little baby shampoo and warm water before use if you want it to go immediately. If not just fill it and leave it nib down for about 5 mins and it will saturate the ebonite feed eventually.
If I could figure out how to send you a picture through yt I'd show you my ink examples.
I love inks! Looking forward to building a collection. I have 6 from a Gold’s set but I had forgotten how to use them.
It's such a fun collection to have!
Also, your “fancy dip holder” is called an Oblique, and its for easier slanted writings, Spencerian copperplate things like that to achieve the proper angle without killing your wrist t do so. Hope this info helps you further your skill set!
Thank you!
I'm also addicted to colors! All colors and all nibs! I haven't jumped in the fountain pen and ink world yet but now I'm seriously considering it! The colors are so vibrant!!! I love that! Thats why I love my Ph Martin inks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!! I'm definitely looking forward to learning more now! I've always loved your little bottles! They're so pretty!!!
#m3glamsquad #SpiritSeekerSquad 👑 🏚 👻⭐
Yes, all the colors and nibs, and bottles!!! Thanks for watching, Mandy!!!
Very informative! I have acrylic ink (got them in a smart art box) and I have black fountain pen ink (Noodlers) that I bought with a couple of dip pens as I'm trying to get in to sketching with them. Hmmm...colors. I'll have to consider that. I have so many watercolor and pastel supplies that I will have to wait until I get a new storage area for my art supplies. Thank you for the information!
You are so welcome, Becky! Yes, new art supplies are so much fun, but then you have to figure out where to store them.
Thank you, Karen, for this video. I ordered the pipette and Strathmore journal. Now all I need is a tiny funnel to transfer the ink to my cute little bottles...and away we go!...Toodles...deb
Yay Debbie, have so much fun with your new goodies!!!
Oh Karen, you've just totally enabled me for a Noodler's ink. I just couldn't quite get why people love the brand so much. Now which color do I begin with?
Hi Erica! I would go with whatever color brings you joy! Have a great weekend!
Shout out from Mass!!!
Hey hey!!!!
Just ordered your Hamburger book. My husband does a lot of grilling, hope he likes it! 😉
Yay, Rua!!! I hope you love it!!!
You also have Diamine which is 4-5$ a bottle and incredible colors 😄
Yes, definitely!
Watercolor paper is GREAT for calligraphy but you can use something a bit less expensive so long as its 100gsm or higher in my book, and still as with most supplies some are better than others
Appreciate that, thank you!
I have that exact same Pelikan M200!!
Awesome!!!
I like what you do and your videos are very informative, and I appreciate how much time and care you put into making them, and helping people embrace creativity. I do have trouble watching sometimes because of the faint music behind you when you’re just talking to us. It’s really distracting and I don’t think it serves a purpose. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, just wanted to share some feedback.
Thanks for watching, and I appreciate your feedback!
If it's any consideration I dont use background in my paid courses at AwesomeArtSchool.com but TH-cam is such a different audience so the editing is quite different but I'm sorry, it is very difficult to please everyone on a giant free platform like TH-cam!
The one good thing about copic markers is you can replace the nib, although I'm sure its not cheap (just like anything related to copic markers)
Veronika Queenstone yes! They’re also refillable and the refills are way affordable!
@@KarenCampbellArtist Honestly if it werent for the possibility of refils and replacement nibs, I wouldnt have considered copics. But I'm so glad that they are a thing
So beautiful! What kind of watercolor journal do you recommend?
Hands down this one!! I have 4 so far! Strathmore Hardcover Watercolor Journal
amzn.to/36cMPDc
I got some samples of noodlers and i can see why you're hooked on them!
Hooked is the right word, Brenda!!! Enjoy them! Thanks for watching!!
Karen, you’re leading me into another Art Dark Side, LOL 🌺😂
Whoops, but also you're welcome!!! Thanks for watching!!!
I absolutely love using a fountain pen for writing, but for some reason I don't use inks in my art, maybe it's because I bought some Dylusion Inks and every time I've used them they make a mess (or is that me that makes the mess lol). As always a very informative video, expertly done. Tfs xo
You should try it again, Elizabeth, you never know. Thanks for watching!
What kind of ink is it that bleeds up through layers? I remember using an ink spray once and no matter what I put on top, the color would seep through. I ended up having to paint over the whole thing in black gesso and I've been too afraid to see if it's truly covered up yet 😂 I did get my first glass dip pen recently and those things are so cool!
Yes! Probably Dylusions spray is what you're thinking of! These will do the same, unless you grab a permanent color. Another reason why I dont use these as a base in my Hamburger system, you just end up fighting with them the whole time. They like to be the main event!!! Maybe just a little color pencil on top!
@@KarenCampbellArtist Thank you as always for such great info!
Fountain pens and dip pens are different. Its not a “fountain pen dip pen” its just “fountain pen” or “dip pen” Im sorry if thats nit picky but it really bugged me as many times as you said it. OTherwise great video, Ive subscribed and hope to learn from you as much as I can. Ima frugal artist too
Thank you for clarifying! I am always up to learn more.
Karen Campbell MIXED MEDIA I’m just a stickler for little things like that, they bug me and stay on my mind if I don’t voice them. I really loved the video and even was inspired to paint and play with my fountain pen ink and watercolors and India Inks.
Awesome ❤️
How does line up with alcohol inks in mixed media?
Alcohol inks are in their own category!! They only couple with a few choice friends, are a very different product and have very different behavior and to be used on ONLY non-porous surfaces.
@Karen Campbell MIXED MEDIA Good to know, thank you.
Btw, I've been trying to figure out the best way to have a large art journal like yours, without busting an already strained budget, then a creative lightbulb went off over my head when I figured out where the largest size paper intersected with the least amount of money.
I bought a Canson XL 11"x15" watercolor pad for under $10. I'll use some PVA to turn it into a watercolor block, so it will keep it from warping before it's finished and dried. On the end where the cover is connected I'm going to use a ruler as a template to mark off the last inch, essentially making the usable surface 11"x14", as well as using the ruler as a template to drill holes through the book. When all the pages are done, I'll put a screw up through the bottom, use a 1" wide wooden slat over the top that I will bolt down, and then attach an 11"x14" canvas board to the cover, which I will also paint on. The cover will move, but the spine which is now bolted down like a book press won't. If need be I can secure it further with a few small decorative hinges.
Then as I finish additional watercolor pads, I can just add the new pages by simply unbolting the cover, putting the new page on top, then bolting the cover back on.
Thanks for all you show us on your channels, I've learned so much. And now that I've figured this part out (along with getting a giant Pitt pen, a Pentel pocket brush pen, and some water-soluble oil pastels, there's no stopping me!
Woo hoo Maggie!!’ Sounds like you are set to jet my friend!!! Have a blast!!!!
💙😊
Thanks for watching!
Long live Nathan Tardiff
Thanks for watching!
A quill and a dip pen is not a fountain p.s fountain pens were invented in 1890
Thank you!
